Voted for:

John Lennon
Roy Orbison
Whitney Houston
Van Morrison
Karen Carpenter

Honorable mentions to:

Sting
James Brown
Cat Stevens
Thom Yorke
Joe Cocker
Sia
Amy Winehouse

Karen Carpenter's material was pretty lackluster overall, but goddamn what a voice. Great drummer as well. Probably the best overall voices are Carpenter, Houston, Orbison and Winehouse.
 
1.) Whitney Houston
2.) Van Morrison
3.) Alicia Keys
4.) Joe Cocker
5.) Karen Carpenter
 
There are legendary stories about Roy Orbison and his voice. I forget who was telling it but basically the story goes like this. Usually when a band or singer has a good set, they might get a standing ovation or chants of encore, etc. at the end of the set. This famous musician, who I can't remember right now, told it and said that Roy Orbison would go to a gig and get standing ovations after one song because people would just be mesmerized by his voice in a live setting.

Johnny cash told him his voice was too feminine
 
Brown
Morrison
Houston
Sting
Sia
 
Van Morrison
Whitney Houston
Joe Cocker
Willie Nelson
Roy Orbison

It hurt me not to pick Willie Nelson, but I felt like it would be dishonest not to prioritize technical singing ability at all. I will say that he deserves a shit load of credit for how well he can convey emotion with his voice. Willie's version of "Always on my Mind" is one of my all time favorite songs.

Edit: fuck it. picked Willie over Alicia Keys because he's cooler

Willie's ability to convey emotion is probably more valuable in some senses than actual skill at singing. There are Willie Nelson songs I can't even listen to because its like getting punched in the gut.
 
Leonard Cohen, lol. Great songwriter, fucking terrible singer.

Michael Stipe? Yikes.....
 
James, Van, Roy, Amy, and Alicia

Much more difficult round. Probably should have gone Witney over James Brown, but I didn't.
 
Prime Whitney had an amazing, amazing voice. She's gotta be #1 on this list.
